GOOD MANAGEMENT AND GOOD
WILL MAKE BANKS STRONG
The mere size of a bank has nothing to do with
its strength. The ability of the bank to dis-charge
its obligations to the depositors is, in the

M. M. Ussishkin, president of the
Jewish National Fund, appointed H.
Esrachi, by telegraph, Commissar for
Poland, over the heads of the Polish
parties. The action was taken by the
world president of the J. N. F. be-cause
of the refusal of the general
Zionists to sit on any directorate with
Revisionists with the result that the
winter campaign of the fund was
threatened. "We cannot tolerate these
internal party fights which are damag-ing
the Jewish National Fund," Us-sishkin
telegraphed.

Delayed reports regarding anti-
Jewish disturbances in the provinces
on the Day of Atonement reaching
Berlin, reveal that at Beuthen, where
the death sentence, later commuted,
was passed on five Nazis, a large
throng of boys surrounded the syna-gogue,
shouting: "The heads of the
Jews will roll". Worshippers asked
the boys to depart, but they could be
prevailed upon to do so only by the
police. In Christburg, East Prussia,
youths stoned a synagogue as the Kol
Nidre services were in progress.

For the first time since its commis-sion
form of government went into
effect in 1917, Newark has a Jewish
City Commissioner. Dr. Meyer C.
Ellenstein was named by the four
other commissioners to head the De-partment
of Public Welfare, made va-cant
nearly a month ago by the death
of the late Commissioner John F.
Murray, Jr. Dr. Ellenstein was a can-didate
for commissioner at the last
city election in May, 1929, running
sixth and polling more than 33,000
votes. The four commissioners took
more than 150 ballots before they
finally agreed upon Ellenstein, Direc-tors
Egan and Gillen, Democrats, urg-ing
his selection from the very be-ginning
of the balloting, while Mayor
Congleton and Director Howe, Repub-licans,
opposed him. Among the hun-dreds
who appeared before the Com-mission
to urge the Ellenstein appoint-ment
were Rabbi Solomon Foster, of
Temple B'nai Jeshurun; Rabbi Julius
Silberfeld, of Temple B'nai Abraham;
Edgar S. Bamberger, and among
others, a representative Negro as well
as the head of the Greek-American
Association of Newark.

Yale College.

The "London News Chronicle,"
liberal daily, discussing the case of
Libby Holman, indicted in connection
with the death of her husband Smith
Reynolds, tobacco millionaire, asserts
that the indictment against Miss Hol-man
was returned because the Grand
Jury was prejudiced against her be-cause
she is a Jewess.

The Jews of Coburg were thrown
into a panic when 35,000 Storm
Troops from Berlin, who were re-viewed
by Adolph Hitler, proceeded
to march through the Jewish quarter
where the Socialist headquarters, dis-playing

The police cleared the streets of the
Storm Troops, not before, however, a
number of policemen and Hitlerites
sustained injuries. No Jews were
wounded, but all were badly fright-ened.
